MASTER COPY

Independent Verification

Does Master Copy Really Copy Correctly?

Independent verification using third-party tool (xxhsum) to prove Master Copy's reliability.

The Problem

Is your copy really safe?

Finder and cp Don't Verify

macOS standard tools (Finder, cp) don't verify after copying. Even if errors occur or files are corrupted, you won't know.

Example: During a 100GB video copy, if even 1 byte has an error, the file is unusable. But Finder shows "Copy Complete."

Master Copy Verifies

Master Copy calculates xxHash128 checksum while copying. Copy complete = Verification complete. Errors are immediately notified.

Benefit: Zero additional time for verification. The moment copying finishes, you know "this file is correct."

But Is That Really True?

What if Master Copy is just saying "hash matched"?
We can't trust something that verifies itself.

That's why we verified with a third-party tool

Verification Method

Independent verification with third-party tool

1

Copy Real Data with 3 Tools

141.42 GB of video data (10 files) copied with 3 different tools:

Master Copy CLI
Copy with verification
cp (BSD)
Standard copy tool
rsync
Sync tool
2

Verify with Third-Party Tool (xxhsum)

Not using Master Copy's built-in verification, but an independent third-party tool "xxhsum 0.8.3" (by Yann Collet).

What is xxhsum?
An open-source checksum verification tool. Completely independent from Master Copy, it calculates hash values using the same algorithm (xxHash128) for copied files.

Compare Hash Values

Calculate hash values with xxhsum for all files copied by the 3 tools, and verify if they match the original file hashes.

# Calculate hash of original files
$ xxhsum source/*
9d8d40332ad8c1be8d070029fa7a6cbe

# Hash of files copied with Master Copy
$ xxhsum dest_mastercopy/*
9d8d40332ad8c1be8d070029fa7a6cbe ✅ Match

Conclusion: All 3 tools showed perfect hash match verified by an independent third-party tool (xxhsum). The hash values calculated by Master Copy are accurate, proving that files are copied correctly.
